CHICAGO, Jan. Especial Telegram to the
BEE. -Four assemblies of Knights of Labor
have begun measures with n view to boy
cOttlng the firms of G. IL. Fargo & Co. and
Selz, SChwab Il Co. 1t is alleged that the
firms have violated the agreement entered
into last spring. The executive board, be-
fore whom the charges were made, decided
against the men, The decision is reported
TO Eave been very unsatisfactory to the local
assemblies who are directly interested in the
manufacture of boots and shoes and il was
decided, II is alleged, to order q boycott. The
notice of the boycott was great surprise to
the firms concerned. Sell, Schwab " Co. say
they had consulted with the state executive

whether he used them or not. At that
time only about 40 of the men were at work,

contract and he had at various times since
used the full 80 men. He expressed regret
at the boycott and said that he was sorry TO

THE NOVELIST WINS.
William Black Given Damages in His
Libel Suit.

tCopWigM 1857 by James Gordon BGnnstt1
LONDON, Jan. g. New York Herald
Cable-Special to the BEE. This after
noon Mr.. William Black, the novelist, was
brought into court in libel cause ceebre.
john Dick, the celebrated cheap publisher,
was defendant Sir Charles Russell, who
stated the case for Mr.. Black, stated that in
the defendants magazine, Bow Bells, last
November, it was said in the course of an al
legged biography of Mr.. Black, that with the
ShrewdnesS characteristic of his nation, he
took care when in search of wife, to 90
where money was. "He twice married an
hcress," the bographcr continued, "and has
made large fortune from his works, but he
is reported to be very close, and his poor re-
latons in Scotland ho affords to ignore
Lately an appeal was made to him to assist
an aunt who had done much for him when
he was young. She had small income of
her own, and only needed two shillings and
siXpence week to keep her out of the poor
house, but Mr.. Black would not pay it.
Everyone has his or her weakness,
and close heartedness, even to meanness, is
Mr.. Blacks" The plaintiff is a man of short
stature, and wore suit TO match his name.
Beaming through his spcctacles, but with
determined air, he gave his evidence saying
that his frs. wife was portionless, that his
second wife would get 5000 on the death of
her father, and lastly that he never had an
aunt, that relative having been manufac-
tured for the occasion. Mr..
Blacks quaint manner of giving
his testimony, as well as the denials,
raised hearty laughter Mr.. Dicks coun sci
made a speech to reduce the damages, but
Sir Charles Russell said he did not ask for
more than nominal recOmpense, as the ac
tion was brought to clear his clients reputa-
ton from the effects OF social and club gossip.
The jury found verdict for El0O -S500-
whereupon Sir Charles Russell and Mr..
Black smilingy drove of to the Garri ok club
TO dine.

WAsmNGToN, Jan. G.-During the morn
ing hour the house resumed, in committee
of the whole, consideration of the bill for
the permanent improvement of the Erie and
Oswego canals and to secure the freedom of
the same TO the commerce Of the United
States.
Mr.. Randall suggested that an early vote
should be taken on the measure. 1t was not
likely to pass, and it would be well to allow
some other proposition to obtain tine floor.
Mr.. Weaver of Iowa seconded this sug-
gestiOn, remarking that the bill would fail
unless the Iiennepin canal appropriation was
attached to il,
Mr. Weber of New York concluded his
argument in support of the measure, urging
that in a commercial point of view, canals We're
of national character and declaring that
the fate of these great waterways to eastern
seapOrts was in the hands of congress.
Mr.. Anderson Of Kansas heartily favored
the objects designated to be accomplished by
the bill The people OF Kansas have a
greater interest in the attainment OF these
objects than the people of New York. The
Erie canal stood as a balance on the capacity
of the great trunk lines of railroads, and it
would be worth sl00 OOO,O 900 to those roads if
they could wipe out that canal. 1t was to
the Interests OF the producers OF the country
that il stand Instead of being wiped out.
